What kind of interaction and collaboration is required between the various actors (governments, businesses, third sector and academic institutions) to promote sustainable development?

In higher education and public administration studies in general, two main arguments for understanding policy development, policy tools and institutional responses prevail. One line refers to the rapid spread of policies across the globe and emphasises policy borrowing and coping with policies. The other main argument repeatedly points out how national trajectories and path dependencies influence implementation processes, the choice and effectiveness of policy tools and the proposed policy solutions.
